Melissa,
You seem to be a very caring and good-spoken man. I feel blessed that a man would be willing to make a fantastic rental dwelling available to people, both rich and poor. Ours is a great God! I do consider myself to be somewhat wealthy, but I am in sincere hopes that this will not hurt my chances of inhabiting your lovely dwelling. I am very excited to meet with you. Your charitable Crusade in West Africa has caused me to wish to enter in to a blissful business relationship you. I would be proud knowing that my rent dollars would be going to spread the word of God.
I am sure you have received many correspondenceses of people wishing to inhabit your dwelling. It is my wish that you would choose to only me to the first to penetrate you based upon our shared admiration of Jesus and West Africa. Because of my eagernes to penetrate your dwelling, I have printed and filled out the rent application and I have also visited my bank and have withdrawn $ 2,200 to cover the first and last months rent as well as a deposit for securities. My parents do not approve of this, but they are very wealthy and do not like helping humanity. It is none of their business to know what I am wanting to have with the monies they give me. I trust we may keep our business dealings in the biggest confidence.
My time schedule is free all week long so it is with a hopeful heart that we can meet and I may deposit my monies and application in your trust. I look forward to your trust and urgent reply. Soon all your base are belong to us!
In Jesuses Name,
Walt

Greetings,
I recently came across your advertisement for the house on Craigslist. If possible, I'd like to make an appointment to come see the house.
